Sadly, I don’t have a webcam at this computer, and unless someone sends me one, or upps my monthly salary from $100, I won’t be getting one any time soon.

Sadly, there is some code I would like to test which requires a webcam. Is there any way to (either with Windows, or preferably via AS code) make Flash player believe I am using a webcam, and pass in whatever bitmapData I want the virtual webcam to see?

This would be great for more uses than just being a cheapskate. 😉
